Comms....?

[Carrumba]

Right... big disclaimer- I might well be as thick as mustard here but how the hell does Comms work in game? Got a message from a player the other day and realised I had zero idea on how to respond. DOH!

Off to check my controls key bindings for a clue but please, someone inform this idiot. :S

Oh, damnit....forget it... found it in the options. Must have been suffering "scroll blindness" when looking for it before. Heheheheh. DOH!

You can press enter, then use up down arrow keys to list local comms targets, then start text chat, or just target them manually as if you would fire on them, then press enter, type message, enter to send.

Cheers...i will no longer be a space ignoramus.

comms technically work right now, but they're so hamstrung that they're effectively worthless in practice.

You're better off using the chatroom in Slopey's market tool.


Things should improve once the devs get around to introducing open chat channels and system-wide chat.
